Last summer the club held its first and highly successful summer club BBQ. We had 90 club members and their families join for a fun filled afternoon/evening for good food with good friends. Read about last years BBQ and see pictures at http://www.cvcbike.org/?p=2813 *** Over 100 RSVPs have been received. Save the Date! Saturday, August 27, 2011 - (3:30pm - Sunset) Oak Canyon Community Park - 5600 Hollytree Dr., Oak Park (On Kanan just East of Lindero). This year we have both Pavilions reserved which is at the top level of the park. Map: http://bit.ly/clQU5h The club will buy meats to BBQ (Burgers, Chicken, Hot Dogs, etc) with all the condiments as well as water/sodas. Members, feel free to bring you favorite side dishes or desserts to share. ** Please RSVP to me personally if you are planning on attending so that we can get an accurate count of guests. Please note this is an exclusive invite to current active CVC members and family only. If you are not a current CVC member and would like to join or renew membership, you can do so now by following the below link: https://www.bikereg.com/events/register.asp?eventid=12216 Additional Information: #1 You may wonder how many people to plan for in regards to the side dishes or desserts that you will be bringing. Since we will have quite a large group, it would not be reasonable to plan to have a portion for everyone. If your side dish could feed 10 people, that would be adequate as we will have a lot of side dishes from our members to choose from. #2 NO alcohol is allowed on park property. #3 Yes, you must RSVP if you plan to attend. We need accurate counts in order to know how much meat to purchase #4 If you are a vegetarian or vegan, please let me know so options can be planned accordingly. #5 One more thing, you MUST have fun! There are some fun child (and adult) related parts of the park right by the Pavilion we have reserved. Play areas with playground equipment as well as a cool splash pad / water play area. Any other questions, please ask! There is an optional and educational event, immediately following the club BBQ. See some things you never thought you could see..... GALAXIES - NEBULAS - GLOBULAR CLUSTERS. Wear warm cloths and be prepared to be Amazed! NO EQUIPMENT OR EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Oak Canyon Astronomy Group presents, "The Star Party" which starts at 8 pm in the upper parking lot of the park from 8 until 11 pm. Last time there were about 30 different scopes to look through. Park lights will be turned off to give maximum night vision for viewing. If you have telescope equipment you will be able to park in the upper parking lot. All others please park in the lower lot near rest rooms. Red Flashlights Only Please and Parking Lights Only for upper parking lot. Those with equipment try and arrive 30 minutes before sunset to setup. ------ Adam Winer Conejo Valley Cyclists, President president@cvcbike.org
